From WR21 to WR41 through 3 games is a dip in pace, not a locked finish.

Picked by the Eagles in 2021 via a trade with the Cowboys.

Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

5,128

Range 4,871–5,804

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection Injured — score leans to the low end of the range until he returns.

Proven WR in his prime — production and runway both hold.

DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Player quality

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

  • Durability ×0.98

    One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.

  • Process ×0.99

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

  • Org environment ×0.99

    Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.

Quick answer

Watch

Smith caught 19 passes for 235 yards in 2026, ranking WR41 through 3 games. Through 3 games the rank is WR41, off a WR21 season. Wait for more games before calling it a decline. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
